Breaking the Stigma: Justin and I break down our mental wellness journies

July 13, 2023

#006 In this episode of the LDDC, Justin and I deep dive into mental health and our experiences in bettering our mental wellness. Like most conversations in person, it took us time to warm up to the topic, but once it was discussed, it went well. Justin shares some insightful lived experiences, which I can't wait to share with you. 

Our discussion topics vary a bit in this episode, however, in roughly chronological order:

• General check-in, Justin opens up about his week
• Bit of F1 Talk
• Reminiscing on video games, dial-up net etc
• Keep up with the latest PC tech and hardware.
• Warranty Claims and Justin's experience processing these as a mechanic
• Men's Mental Health Week discussion (25 mins roughly)
  • Anxiety and Therapy
  • Explaining it to those who haven't experienced it
  • Experience with therapy and ADD
  • Mental Care Health Plan & General Practioner (Dr) experience
  • Lived experience with psychedelics and research being done in the states on its impact on mental health conditions.
  • Exercise and its positive impacts
